admin Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Please vote in one of the most important votes before release. Having several players per account gives good flexibility but could interfere in the conquest mechanics (spies, briefers etc). Removing neutrals can make capturing ports for resource control more meaningful Remember that after Early access it will be extremely hard to take back features or remove flexibility. It will be much easier to add things back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIerrick de Badas Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 no neutral players to not crossteam eco - 1 charachter per account to not allo crossteam in eco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If players want more accounts they can always purchase them. 1 character per account is reasonable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
312_JS Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) What about keeping the 3 characters, but limiting them to one nation only. Edited January 15, 2016 by 312_Jura 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 well ppls initial idea is only one char and gettin rid of neutrals. Let the majority win and be set. I sincerily hope that any debates about how many accounts after this vote are set Right now the poll is very decisive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justme Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would be nice to have 2, I have a family member who wants to play as well and I'm not buying 2 copies of the game so both of us can play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomms123 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 1 character per account. If they want more character buy more accounts. No neutrals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 One character per account. Only way to have a Nation system... Sure someone could buy a second account but hey that makes you guys some extra money towards development. Remove Neutral Nation unless you can make them super unique. Special trading ship, bonuses to crafting, can be mercs for other nations, can fly false flag for a limited duration, ect. If they aren't unique they aren't needed.

William the Drake Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Neutrals need to be removed eventually, however there needs to be a diplomacy system where each nation has the ability to declare war, peace, alliance, or neutrality in a conflict to facilitate the removal of neutrals.As for character #, I'm split. I personally would like to have a Pirate, an Englishman, and an American, but I can see how people could abuse having characters in other nations. Perhaps have a time penalty when changing between characters of different nations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So make people with family members should pay 2-3 times or more the amount to play the same game? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William the Drake Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 potbs had similar system and it did not work, people abused it and killed the game. But I thought that was due to the fact that players could have multiple accounts, not multiple characters per account? True X-teaming was only possible because of the former. If you had other nation Characters on the same account, the only way you could use them was to either A. Wait until the map reset, or B. Paid to have it done (which I agree, promotes the wallet-warrior and is not a good option to have.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So make people with family members should pay 2-3 times or more the amount to play the same game? This is a good point and I suggest you to start a new thread about it and see what devs say. My suggestion for developers. Give deals to those who already purchased the game. Let's say 50% off for current players who already purchased the game. So, for *($19.99) you would get another account for your family member. Seems like a good deal to me. or have Seasonal Sales. It can work like this: Provide your current game code and get 50% off your next account purchase. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty_Alex Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 One character per account is the only way to have some resemblance of national gameplay. Remove neutrals and neutral ports, as it's impossible to wage war when enemies hide their fleets in neutral ports and you can't remove them from your region.

maturin Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 3 characters. 1 log-in per faction per day. Spying happened in real life, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would be nice to have 2, I have a family member who wants to play as well and I'm not buying 2 copies of the game so both of us can play.

dynd Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So make people with family members should pay 2-3 times or more the amount to play the same game? No, every person would still pay the same, $40. You are suggesting the price should be lower because you are living with family? Why? Just because I don't have a brother I have to pay more?

Nathaniel Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Free Towns already provide a very far-reaching respite for cornered nations. That presumes there would be no multi-national accounts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think people with families should be punished by paying 2-3 times as much? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nornica Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 When I started playing this game, i bought 3x copies of this game for my family, so they can play freely with me.I don't see punishment in this.And I had a problem "omg what should i buy them for their birthday" solved.Which is nice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaniel Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I never said anything about lowering price, or a discount. Why do you think people with families should be punished by paying 2-3 times as much? But what's the problem? If you want to play simultaneously, you need several accounts anyway. If you want taking turns in playing, use your one character, you'll progress faster on the one hand, but you'll have enough ship slots and a 4h teleport to play in the region each of you wants with the ships she/he wants.
